AskCat.com/Wine

I considered focusing this post on PLONK but there are so many highly drinkable, good quality wines under $10 that I thought the P-word a bit of a slur. On the heels of a recession and during this season of peak consumption, having a few inexpensive wines on hand is where smart meets hospitable. And making sure they're good ones means you can go beyond your own guilty pleasure to use them as quick, simple gifts for friends, neighbours and hosts.

I'm no sommelier, but my current picks for house wine are very pleasing to the palette and the pocketbook. Props to the Toronto Life Where to Get Good Stuff Cheap issue for a few new discoveries. Prices listed below are current at the LCBO.

About Me

People ask me random questions. How to do this, where to buy that, what's for dinner, what to wear here and there, personal advice, restaurant recommendations, driving directions: the gamut. Sort of where the Yellow Pages meets Dear Abby.
Figuring that some of this info might satisfy the curiosities of others, http://askcatdotcom.blogspot.com/ shares some of the highs and lows of being a go-to kind of gal. A more personal effort, http://onegrub.blogspot.com sticks to one simple, glorious topic: FOOD!
Qualified only by life experience, common sense and a freakish desire to feel prepared by researching stuff exhaustively, I'm a resourceful Canadian mother of two (a boy and a girl), living in the city (Toronto), gratefully enjoying a pretty wonderful life, and hoping to impart some info to help you do the same.
